Panda is a popular British maker that has seen great success in recent years. In this Panda Hybrid Topper review, I will discuss this fantastic new addition that promises to transform your old mattress and help you sleep better.
After seeing great success with their original Panda Topper, the engineers behind it decided that it was the right time to develop a more technologically advanced one. This is how the Hybrid Topper was born, and it definitely looks promising. Toppers can be very useful, especially for people who don’t want to replace their old mattress but desperately need more comfort or pressure relief. Before you buy one, you should make sure your old mattress is still structurally good or else a topper won’t help you. I ordered mine almost two weeks ago, so it’s time now to move to the full review below.
Materials
Despite only measuring 7cm in height, the Panda Hybrid topper features 3 layers. At the top, there is an open-cell memory foam layer that is infused with bamboo. The latter allows it to regulate heat and sleep cool. Underneath that, there is a micro-spring layer that can provide your body with all-around comfort. Finally, at the bottom, there is a memory foam layer that has the ability to contour to your sleeping position for bespoke support.
Around the core, there is a removable cover that is made with organically-grown bamboo. This makes it naturally hypoallergenic and anti-bacterial. On the sides, they have added a mesh panel that increases airflow. This is a clever design that works efficiently. At the bottom, they have added an anti-slip base that will keep this in place. Finally, the Panda topper with 4 stripes ensures a great fit. The overall construction is great, and it’s pretty evident that they paid a lot of attention to detail when manufacturing it.
Support & Comfort
During the design process, the people at Panda wanted to create a topper that would suit the average sleeper. For this reason, the Hybrid topper comes with a medium-firm feel. If I use my virtual scale here, I would say it’s a 6.7 with 10 being really firm. As you expect, I cannot talk about the different sleeping positions as the mattress I used it with can be very different from what everyone else is using. Having said that, I can say with confidence that pressure relief was massively improved when using this topper. Additionally, comfort was increased, and I felt that the weight distribution was optimised.
Regarding support, I think that this is more down to the mattress that you will use it with, but I did feel that the Panda Hybrid topper did a better job when compared to other toppers that I have tried. That means that the mini-springs did a good job here. Overall, this topper performed really well, which is something I expected from such a premium product.
Trial Period & Guarantee
One of the best things about this topper is the fact that it comes with a 30-night trial period that allows you to try it at home. This is super useful and gives you the ability to try this topper in real conditions. If, after a month, you are not happy with it, you can return it and get a full refund. The process is a simple one, and you won’t be charged anything to complete a return.
Moreover, all Panda toppers come with a 10-year guarantee, which shows the quality of their products. Before you buy one, make sure you read the full terms of their guarantee. Overall, they offer a complete package here that is another reason to buy this topper.
Topper Pricing
All these great specs come with a price, so this topper isn’t the most affordable option out there. The good news is that it’s available in 8 sizes (including some EU ones), so you will definitely find the one that suits your needs. The table below has pricing information for all available sizes.

Is the Panda Hybrid topper for me?
It’s time now to complete this Panda Hybrid topper review and share my final thoughts with you. This is definitely a great upgrade from the previous model, and it’s one of the most high-tech toppers you will find in the UK. It also comes with a well-rounded support package that makes it even more attractive. Of course, all that comes with a high price tag, but if you have the budget for it, this is definitely a topper to consider.
